First of all, you have added some unnecessary characters and the path before msiexec shown in red above. Remove them from you syntax. Msiexec is on your system not on the cd like you have shown me in your syntax. You have also forgotten the square brackets (ie. [...] shown below in blue) for your the path where you want to install VMware.
The Proper Syntax said:
REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "msiexec -i \"%CDROM%\XPCD\Software\VMware\VMware Workstation.msi\" [INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\VMware\"] ADDLOCAL=ALL DISABLE_AUTORUN=1 SERIALNUMBER=\"XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX\" /qn" /f
XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX - Your serial number with hypens in it.
